About the piece
This captivating 'capriccio' by the renowned French painter Hubert Robert depicts a group of figures dancing the farandole amidst an imaginative arrangement of Egyptian monuments. A towering obelisk and a weathered fountain anchor the foreground, while the Great Pyramid and a sphinx rise from the desert mist in the distance. Robert's mastery of light and atmospheric perspective creates a dreamlike scene that celebrates the 18th-century fascination with antiquity and the picturesque.
